Exclusive | Enjoy Effortless Watering with the Featherweight Hose

Tired of dragging heavy hoses? Lighten up your watering routine with our new ultra-lightweight hose. It remains flexible and easy to maneuver, even in chilly weather. Nylon hose guards prevent kinking at ends and the chrome-plated zinc fittings are leakproof. The textured surface offers a sure grip. BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free.

Hose Care Tips

To help prevent kinking and prolong the life of your hose:

Before using a new hose, straighten it and untwist the coils until the hose lays flat.

After each use, straighten and untwist the hose before coiling it. Do not store the hose with kinks in it.

Always coil your hose in the same direction — either clockwise or counterclockwise.

Store the hose on a hose reel for easier coiling.

Drain the hose as you coil it.

Drain the hose prior to freezing temperatures and store under cover.

Note: To attach a nozzle or other watering accessory to your Featherweight Hose, grip the hose with one hand just below the hose guard and turn the fitting on the accessory with your other hand until it’s tight.

I bought the 100 ft. hose so I could reach all the pots and grass areas in the front of our house. The reach was nice and it is light but it was hard to coil up the hose after each use. It twists and kinks up. The water pressure is also much lower than a 3/8 inch hose. I do not use it anymore. It sits in the shed.

I was disappointed in the quality for such a pricey hose. Even with the discount coupon it is not a bargain.I would have sent it back but with shipping it would have been a bigger loss.

the house is light, but it has two downsides, it's a small diameter hose so it has low water volume and the wall is very thin. Although I wind it carefully it kinks worse than w heavier hose. I was going to return it but the UPS charge from my home in Calif was $36 so I decided to keep it. BTW I got the 100 ft version. If someone wanted a shorter hose for light watering it would probably be fine.

I bought this hose to help my 85 yr. old Mom who still likes to help me in the garden and was struggling to use the old hose to water in our front yard. When I saw the information on this featherweight hose I thought it would be just what we needed. Very soon after she started using it, she told me that she no longer wanted to help me in the garden, that it was too hard for her to use the hose. So I took over and I know why she gave up. Watering out front has become something I DREAD. This hose is AWEFUL. It KINKS, TWISTS, and becomes the biggest pain to use. If it was possible to send back at this point I would. The only thing I like about it is the color. I guess I am going to put it in the donation stack. :-(

I just threw out my 5th X-Pro expandable hose after it burst and dreaded buying one of those heavy, cumbersone rubber hoses...when I got your catalog and saw your durable, lightweight hose. I bought one for the front yard; one for the back. I'm thrilled!! They are indestructable, don't tangle and are as light as the catalog says they are. Thank you Gardeners!!
